So I usually stay away from Disney Princesses because Disney is kind of weird and have been shoving women into gender roles for decades, but Merida is something different and I really enjoyed that. An opportunity came up to be part of a princess/story book cosplay cafe and I decided it would really fun to be this character, accent and all! So I used the same pattern from my wood card with some slight altering and came up with Merida. She has a half satin and half cotton under dress and rouched piping at the neckline and sleeves to create that squished shirt look without the extra shirt. The outer dress is velvet (second time working with velvet and it just gets easier and easier). My version of her dress is greener, because that is what I could find locally, and some movie shots show her dress greener. The wig is just an Ebay wig and I have a second one on the way so i can make it longer and puffier in the back (it's not quite puffy enough for me yet). I need toupee tape for the front though- it really likes to stick up. |
